A super quick birthday card featuring a stamp set called Rocking the Wreath by Tracey Hey Designs...
All I've done is stamped the image and added the teddy so he swings from the top of the wreath then coloured him with Prisma pencils.
With a few of the embellishment stamps I've added hearts and dots randomly to give a fuller wreath.
I've added a bit of Distress Oxide in stormy sky for part of the sentiment.
I chose to leave this card rather plain as its for my son who'll be at University and he doesn't want a soppy over the top card sitting out... that's just not cool, Mom!
I think I got the balance just right :)

ReplyDeleteOh that bear is precious, what a sweet card! Thanks so much for joining us at IB!
ReplyDeletetoo adorable! Love the cutie bear and sweet wreath!
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect birthday card for your son with the most ideal sentiment of them all! No fuss, no frills, just as guys prefer, but I know he'll be glad you sent him a card to remember his birthday while he's away! Love that cute teddy bear with all those rings. I agree with you on these unwarranted closing of businesses - it just makes no sense to me at all.
ReplyDeleteThis is so gorgeous, I just love how you have decorated this wreath. It's so perfect I thought that must have been the stamp itself! I'm glad I came across you on the Just Add Ink blog challenge.
ReplyDeleteOh Claire your card is so sweet and lovely.
